Elder abuse is an intentional act or failure to act that causes or creates harm to an older adult and can be physical, emotional, financial, sexual, or neglect. It is common, impacting 1 in 10 community dwelling adults and can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, abuse is often underreported by patients and unrecognized by providers.

There is increasing recognition of the need to equip the next generation of global health practitioners with skills and knowledge to approach the field of global health with cultural humility and awareness of the ongoing power asymmetries that have undermined efforts towards achieving global health equity in the past.
